Menu Master is a haxie that allows you to change or remove menu shortcut keys in any application with ease. It takes about 15 seconds to learn how to use Menu Master, and saves you lots of time later because you can use the shortcuts you defined and do not bother remembering which ones the developer of the software invented for you. Additionally, you can set shortcuts to any menu item that had no shortcuts, or remove shortcuts from menu items.

Menu Accelerator is a new feature of Menu Master (for Mac OS X 10.4 and later only) that allows you to see all the enabled menu items for an application in a window. It's extremely helpful for those that use the keyboard for all navigation and don't want to use the mouse to search all the menus for a particular menu item you know the name of but cannot remember what menu it was in.

Features:

• Assign new shortcut keys to menu items in any application (switch languages quickly with new shortcuts, for example);
• Redefine existing shortcut keys in the menu items to the ones you like and remember;
• Remove unwanted shortcut keys (such as Command-K for Block Pop-Up Windows in Safari);
• Works in all native Mac OS X applications with real menus;
• Menu Accelerator - access menu items by name without using the mouse.

And to save you from reading the manual, here's how you use Menu Master:

• Pull down the menu you want to change;
• Select the menu item you want to redefine shortcut for;
• Press the new shortcut combination while keeping the menu item selected, or press Delete key to remove a shortcut;
• That's it! Menu Master will now remember your change and automatically do it every time you start that application.

Menu Master comes as a 15 days unrestricted demo version - grab a copy today and see how useful it can be for you!

New in version 1.4.3:

• Note: The price of Menu Master has increased from $10 to $12.
• This is a free update.
• Potentially addressed an issue with the Script Menu Menu Extra if you have different items that only appeared when a specific application was frontmost.
• Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
• Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Menu Master now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
• No longer loads Objective-C dynamically.
• Removed calls to many deprecated APIs.
• No longer scans menu items if their titles are NULL or zero length due to an issue cause by the inefficiency of Cocoa menus.
• Potentially addressed an issue with Adobe applications losing custom menu shortcuts when switching documents or not listing all their menu items in the Menu Accelerator window. This required a lot more work than it should have.
• Includes APE 2.5.
• Includes SCR 1.5.
• Plea: If you've bought Menu Master around three years ago and have never paid for it again (we've not charged for an update of Menu Master) we kindly ask if you wouldn't mind paying a voluntary upgrade fee. This fee is completely voluntary, is not required, and Menu Master itself has no knowledge of whether you have volunteered or not. There are no perks to volunteer and we only ask that only registered users volunteer. To volunteer, please go to http://www.unsanity.com/store/add/menumaster_vuf

New in version 1.4.2:

• Addressed a problem with applications made with py2app (such as the official BitTorrent client) that exported their own objc_msgSend symbol.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock on ICBMs due to the wonkiness of the x86 ABI.
• Menu Master now compares the target and action of Cocoa menu items in order to prevent Menu Master from mismatching menu items with identical names but different actions. If you're having this problem, you may have to delete and recreate the shortcuts for these applications.
• Addresses a potential and extremely unlikely issue with handling hot keys set on Menu Extras being pressed while a the same key is removed from the menu item in another dimension.

New in version 1.4.1:

• Fixed a crash that occurred if there was an error while trying to initialize Menu Accelerator. This was due to a copy & paste bug.
• No longer attempts to initialize Menu Accelerator in background only applications since these applications don't even have a menu bar that can be accelerated.
• Menu Master no longer affects the Dock at all.
• Now attempts to be smarter when dealing with Cocoa popup menus and no longer looks inside popup menus if these menus have no custom shortcuts.
• Addressed an issue that could cause the insertion point to stop blinking in Reunion 8 and other applications that mistakenly completely reset the menu bar whenever a new window is brought frontmost.

New in version 1.4:

• For those on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, Menu Master now includes Menu Accelerator, a new feature borrowed with permission from Gus Mueller. When the assigned hot key is pressed (Command-Option-Control-M by default), a window listing all the application's menu items appears. This is useful for applications with many menu items such as Xcode and Photoshop.
• Menu Master is now a Universal (Fat) binary compatible with the new Intel-based Macs (ICBMs).
• Fixed a potential infinite recursive loop that would lead to a stack overflow induced crashed if a menu was populated by an event that Menu Master sent, which then caused the event to be sent again as Menu Master rescanned the newly updated menu.
• Addressed a problem that prevented some keyboard shortcuts from being set on menu extras that changed their status based on the modifier keys being held down. This may have a side effect of preventing shortcuts to be set on menu items in menu extras that only appear if a specific modifier key is held down. You can't win them all.
• Added an Updater that automatically checks for updates at user-specified intervals.
• Worked around a problem that caused a crash in the DVD Player. This was similar to the previous Quicken 2006 problem.
• Changed the way new shortcuts are displayed in the preference pane.
• No longer uses the first parent menu's menu item index when saving menu item paths. This was purely cosmetic and related to the above change.
• Addressed a crash in NoteTaker due to the way NoteTaker's style menu is laid out and handled.
• Regrettably, Mac OS X 10.2.x support has been dropped from this version.

New in version 1.3.1:

• Addressed a problem that causes menu items in cocoa popup menus to be displayed twice.
• Fixed a crash when clicking on the iTunes dock item to open its dock menu.
• Worked around a problem that caused a crash in Quicken 2006 if a command key was set on the Activities menu.
• Custom shortcuts work again in Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications (such as Photoshop CS2). Sneaky, Adobe, very sneaky.
• No longer requires you open a menu at least once before custom shortcuts work in Word v.X and some other Carbon applications.
• The exclude list now properly shows excluded applications.
• Includes smart crash reports.
